5 Ores and Raw Materials Sectional Committee, MTD 13 FOREWORD This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by thebureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Ores and Raw Materials Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council. This standard was first published in 1969 and revised in 1982 in the light of the existing availability of haematite iron ore in the country during that period, and future demands in the domestic as well as export markets projected then. In this revision, keeping in view the gaps generated during these years, the classification on the mineralogical composition of the haematitic ores have been resolved into the twin parameters of major chemical composition and particle size of the product. Mineral spectrum in aggregate, lithological nature and alkali load of the iron ores have also been considered. The permissible percentage of fines has not been specified in this standard since it is likely to vary depending upon tire size of the marketed ore, handling machinery in use and should, therefore, form a part of the contract. For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off values should be same as that of the specified value in this standard.

6 Indian Standard IS 5442 : 1992 HAEMATITE IRON ORE-CLASSIFICATION ( Second Revision ) 1 SCOPE 1.1 This standard covers classification of haematife iron ore on the basis of composite mineralogy. 1.2 The standard is based only upon the main chemistry and the physical size of the end product. It envisages that any geological prototype of the material is to be graded only at the marketing stage, for inducting a homogenous classification irrespective of any intrinsic irregularity of the naturally occurring material before the onset of mining and processing. 2 REFERENCES The following Indian Standards are necessary adjuncts to this standard: IS No..
